Everybody has their favorite ski run. The one that — given the right conditions — delivers incredible satisfaction.
Some ski runs are memorable for the turns, the snow, or the views. Others stick with you before you even click in, just from the name on the trail map. The sport has a long tradition of creative, weird, and sometimes intimidating trail names that hint at what’s waiting below. From playful to downright ominous, these are the kinds of names you don’t forget, even if you only ski them once.
But which trail names stand out the most? We asked our followers, “What’s the weirdest ski trail name you’ve come across?” Below is just a sample of some of their answers. We tried to categorize them as best we could.
Weird
Bubble Cuffer, Screaming Cheetah, Vaseline Alley, Spanky’s Ladder, The Fallopian Tubes, Throbulator, Sticky Pajamas, Ballhooter, Swamp Donkey, Chunky Swirley, Teenage Wasteland, Moment of Strudel, Tippecanoe.

At some point, the turns blur together, but the names tend to stick. They become shorthand for a moment, a feeling, or a story you end up telling later. Whether they made you laugh, hesitate, or double-check the map, the best trail names add a little personality to the mountain and give you one more reason to remember the run.

What about kill the banker @ revelstoke or disease ridge @ whistler with runs like aids, gonorrhea, syphilis etc…

T Ferguson, please explain what you are talking about? A Bukkake Bowl is a noodle dish, I know. It also happens to be the name of a run at Rusutsu. Rusutsu is a nice place to ski, my parents took me there in 2019. We had so much fun.
“the F is for Fail ‘Bukkake Bowl @Rusutsu, Japan.'” A Bukkake Bowl is literally a regional noodle dish, but nice fetish bro.
Love that Dilley Dalley Alley at Ski Lookout Pass ID – MT was included. Also really like the name Purgatory on our steep Chair 3 section. Got some real good ones here. Shared on our FB page.
